My Dog Gracie’s Death Absolutely Devastated Me. Please Don’t Say She Was ‘Just A Pet.’
In November 2018, I heard her nails catch the carpet. The noise was a gentle, scratchy zip, and I think even then I knew she was dying. Well, at the very least, the pessimist in me knew something was very wrong. I began googling, and the worst hit was degenerative myelopathy (DM). That’s what eventually killed my dog, Gracie, on September 7, 2019.
